Interview: Jon Tutty
Q1. Why
Burgess Hill?
I have been
asked this
question a
few times
over the past
weeks and
its as I said in
my welcome interview, when a
club like Burgess Hill offer you an
opportunity it is not one you turn
down. The club has a rich history
within Sussex Rugby across all
disciplines of the game and have
the silverware to show for it. For
me though it is not just about what
can be achieved on the 昀椀eld but
also what the club stands for. We
have a strong sense of family and
community within our club and
we are always looking to grow this
and do as much as we can for
the community whether that be
giving people a place to play or
supporting a fellow team within
Burgess Hill when they are holding
an event. If we can thrive we then
make sure others can thrive to.
This is something I live by.
hen 昀椀rst spoke with oss,
Rezzy and Chris it was clear that
whoever was appointed to the
role was not just responsible for
10
results on the pitch but they had
to see the bigger picture and all
the amazing things they could
be a part of growing, Operation
Reset again is not just about one
team and results it’s about how
our club grows together from
our youngest team through to
our senior teams. This is exciting,
this is what rugby is about. If we
are one and all sharing in each
other’s development and playing
a part in that development this
is when amazing things can be
achieved. The vision of this and
the whole project is what brought
me to Burgess Hill and I am very
thankful to be given the trust and
opportunity to play a part in it all
going forward.
Q2. What are the key things you
want to achieve this season?
This is a new year with a new
coach and this of course brings
new ideas. For me culture is
always my number one priority
but it’s not just about myself
saying, “ok this is what I know
works and this is what we are
going to do”. This has to be a
culture that is set by us all and
something we all play a part in
creating. We have such a range
